Re: [Ilugc] Dec Month ILUGC Meet
We shared events that happened around in the last one month.. and Raman shared few useful commands.. later it was on FossConf 2009.. need for physical volunteers was stressed upon.. apart from having usual talks etc., need to bring people from different streams of life.. auditors.. lawyers.. doctors.. academicians.. linguists etc., to know their expectation from FOSS world to make free software for them, explore ways to do that.. can be one thing where this fossconf can distinguish itself from the previous one.. any college/ institution/ organisation willing to host is welcome to do that on the first confirmation basis.. -- ஆமாச்சு ___ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe " in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

I am intrigued as to why the LUG meet is on Saturdays. I have college on all Saturdays and so find it impossible to come to the LUG meets. (I mean it. EVERY saturday. We even have a regular 7 hour timetable for that day!) Unless there is a specific reason, can I take the privelege of requesting that LUG meets could be held conducted on Sundays?

In that case, please write to the company or if it is your own page/site, fix it! Instead, installing IE and using the same page is like using a pain killer to comfort pain from a fracture and ignore the fracture itself. Also as chrome is clearly on the rise for Windows users.
